CAKE: is made in many varieties in modern bakeries, from the very plain to the extremely "rich" - as the heavier kinds of fruit cakes. If of sound materials and properly baked, it is as nutritious and wholesome as it is agreeable to the palate. Some people find the rich types difficult of digestion, but many more would be able to enjoy cake without any unpleasant after-effects if they were to treat it as essentially a part of the meal - to be eaten in place of some other portion thereof - instead of looking upon it as an "extra" and thus throwing additional work on a stomach already loaded with other foods. To keep cake fresh, put an open vessel of water in the show-case. To keep flies away, sprinkle cloves in it. Tin is the best receptacle.
